Transcript PHS Future Plan - ParksideHS

Why do so many Electronics
Programs close due to low
enrollments?

If Math and Science were electives, would they
ALSO have low enrollments?


Of Course they would!
Core Electronics Classes (DC, AC, Analog,
Digital) are advanced math and science
intensive.

DC and AC are actual last chapters inside Physics
Textbooks. Yet they are Introductory chapters inside
Electronics Textbooks.
What to do?

Upgrade Electronics Programs
Meaningful and…
 Relevant and…
 Exciting and…
 Realistic and…
 Rewarding and…
 In touch with Current products.


Train them for Careers not even invented yet!
Overview of:
Parkside High School - CTE
Electronics Technology
Instructor: David Miles [email protected]
Salisbury, Maryland
Could this possibly be a MODEL
program for High School Electronics?

Note to All
The next slide “Electronic Systems” is a work in
progress (WIP) to re-invent the senior year. We have a
few systems such as robotics, microcontrollers,
communications, fiber, soldering, solidworks, Labview,
and a couple certifications. But due to funding limits,
we’ll slowly be adding other systems within the coming
years (hopefully). It may take years to complete barring a
miracle! 

Not all 80 of the following

But Hopefully One Day!!!
This could help Recruitment.
Why??
Because students would learn how to
setup test fixtures, measure, calibrate,
and diagnose with a more meaningful

The emphasis is not on “Playing” the games – but rather on how to set up

In Closing:

I STRONGLY believe this is by far, one of the
best programs a future technician or engineer
can take within a Maryland High School.

Unfortunately many don’t. Why?
Many capable students are still pushed away from CTE by
Guidance Counselors, scheduling, and/or parents.
 University Scholarships are usually awarded towards
academia rather than CTE.
 Community College Scholarships are usually awarded
towards academia rather than CTE.


Therefore – Lets push for SOLID pathways
between High School CTE Electronics, Community
Colleges, and Universities via scholarships awards.
